URL redirection permits you to forward site visitors from one website to another. In contrast to forwarding a domain address by parking it when the domain is unusable, a URL redirection is possible only if the domain address is hosted, meaning that you shall still have the ability to set up entirely functional subdomains and email addresses or even to have content for the domain in question, even though it won't be accessible directly. If you currently have a site, for instance, but you want to launch one or a variety of localized websites for different towns or countries, you shall be able to work on them without a difficulty. If a visitor opens any one of the new domains, however, they will be redirected to the existing Internet site. That way, you will not miss customers while creating the localized websites.
URL Redirector in Cloud Hosting
If you host your websites with us and you have a cloud hosting package, you'll be able to use our URL redirection tool to redirect the website visitors from any domain address and subdomain, or from a subfolder under any of them, to another web address. The procedure takes a number of simple steps through an easy-to-use interface, so you can create a redirection even in case you have zero previous experience. You will simply have to choose a domain name or a subdomain using a drop-down list, to select the folder in which the redirection shall be set up (the root folder or a subfolder), and then to input the URL where the traffic should be sent to. For more knowledgeable users, there are also options to choose the redirection type (permanent or temporary) and the method (direct or match). Any redirection you set up could be deactivated from the very same section of the Control Panel, if you do not require it anymore.

Our system will handle everything else, so a few seconds later the new redirection shall be 100% active. The more expert users could also make use of a few other customizable options, including the option to choose the redirection type (direct, match) and method (301 permanent, 302 temporary).
